The Marret Glacier is a 6 km long and up to 6 km wide glacier in the East Antarctic Adélieland . It flows from the Antarctic Ice Sheet in a north-northeast direction and flows into the D'Urville Sea immediately east of Cape Robert .
Aerial photographs of the US American Operation Highjump (1946–1947) were used to map it. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1955 after Mario Marret (1920-2000), head of a French Antarctic expedition (1952-1953), in which the measurement of the coastline to the west side of Victor Bay was made.
